About Chris
- CEO of a GovTech SaaS company - Graduated as Valedictorian at Stanford GSB - After Stanford, I launched a Search Fund with money raised from Stanford-affiliated investors and acquired a software company in 2023 - Six years of Investment Banking experience, working for Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, where my work entailed financial modeling, conducting due diligence, and managing M&A deals - Spent four years working in an early-stage fund and helped grow it eight times from $400m to $3 Bn AUM. There, I specialized in investing and capital-raising - Started up a Microfinance Company in Peru, where I extended microloans to rural farmers with no credit history - Worked in Belgium, Peru, the United Kingdom, and the US
Why do I coach?
I want to share my knowledge/perspectives on investing, business, and entrepreneurship/search funds with people who are keen to pursue a career in finance, private equity, or entrepreneurship. I benefited from mentors who helped me in my career so I like to pay it forward. I'm also energized and motivated by people who have a growth mindset and those are typically the people who seek out career coaches.
